What are the benefits of non - government organizations?

NGOs are basically charitable organizations that perform social services. For example, they might work with orphanages to try to reunite children with family members. What the benefits are depends on specifically what they do, but generally the people in an NGO are doing it because they care about the organization's goals; often they're volunteers. This allows an NGO to be more cost-effective in many cases than a government bureau with paid staff would be.
